Social Anxiety, Self-Advocacy, and Too Much Self-Help: September Mailbag
Being Well with Forrest Hanson and Dr. Rick Hanson

Each area serves a purpose, but excessive focus on self-help can hinder the natural flow of life.

Engaging with self-help should facilitate positive change rather than create a cycle of overthinking.
